Welcome to Susan's, Jessica. It's good to meet you, honey. *hugs* Meditation is a good method of introspection, I use it myself often. It removes a lot of the detritus that clouds the mind and affords a high level of insight into yourself.

Before you start hitting the boards, take a look at, and familiarise yourself with a couple of threads that explain the way the site works.
First up is the
Site Terms of Service and rules to live by, which will show you what we hold to in terms of standards and conduct here at Susan's.
The other is the information regarding
post ranks which will give you an idea about the facilities and priviledges you'll have access to as your participation here increases.
I look forward to reading your perspective and input.
